Top 5 Ways to Get Website Visitors to Join Your Mailing List

Idalia Benavides
Do you have a mailing list on your website that no one's joining? Well if you do then not to worry as you're one of the many with this problem; the good thing is that I have a solution for you. There are certain things that all your website readers/visitors/viewers are looking for to join a mailing list, and I'm going to tell you what those things are. If you offer at least one of the things that I'm going to talk about below, you are sure to get a few subscribers in no time.

- Offer coupons
If you sell a service and you can offer one or a couple of coupons to your mailing list subscribers every other time you send them an email then that would get them to sign up for it. Knowing that they can get discounts on whatever it is that they offer is huge. Make sure to let them know exactly what kind of coupons they can expect from you and how often you'll be sending them, also what they will be for. If they're coupons for holiday time let them know that; that will motivate them to sign up for sure.

- Offer freebies
Are you in possession of a couple of software freebies, e-book, or even articles that you can give out for free? Well if you are then make sure to highlight that right above the subscription box on your website. Let them know what kinds of freebies they can expect and you'll see that the hits and subscribers will come quickly. Everyone loves freebies, and if they already like your website then it'll be what pushes them to sign up for your email newsletter.

- Offer e-book
If you've found or created an awesome e-book that your viewers would love to have, then offer that in return for them joining your mailing list. Let them know that they will have access to it or that you will send them an email with instructions on how to view it or downloaded right after they sign up. Giving e-books away can be very profitable as you can make money from giving out someone else's e-book or you can place a whole lot of links back to your site from it which would bring business back to you.

- Offer articles
If you visit a site and you find some good articles, offer the links to the people signing up to receive email from you. Everyone wants to read a little bit more on subjects that interest the, and if you make it seem as if those articles are great then you can surely estimate at least 10 more subscribers a month if you're getting average traffic.

- Offer special offers
If you sell a service or a product, then what you need to do is advertise that you will offer special offers through your mailing list only. If your visitors like what you sell and they're looking for discounts they will have no other choice but to sign up for your newsletter to get them there.
Tip: Make sure to offer special offers if you say you're going to!

Final Note: Call attention to the section where people can become subscribers. Use different colors, and try to make it sound like a big deal, and then make it a big deal for them once you send it.
